| 3/8" maybe.... Lemme go look in the garage... EDIT: Yup, looks like my 3/8" hex appears to be my most worn one. So that must be it.  | |

| sweet thanks, I was thinking either 3/8" or 10mm. I was diggin' some more on other club sites and I thought I found it was 10mm, so I ordered a set of metric bits from work. Hopfully that 10mm works, if not I have to get a set of SAE. | |

| Either way, can't hurt to have the metrics and the standards. I think the 10mm works but a better idea to use the 3/8". I'm just glad our cars don't have threads in the caliper, I stripped come caliper threads once when I was working at a Chevy shop, that was an expensive mistake...  | |
